7KM IMPERSONAL ACQUAINTANCE
INDIVIDUALITY OF MARY McLANE AS REVEALED BY HER BOOKS.
I picked up the new book of Mary Mac
lano. It appeared too much a stranger to
be addressed immediately, and, , besides
this, I lelt a touch of dread, as one who
was about to renew acquaintance with
one not met and Intimately conversed Ni
swith for years. So I laid the book down
apaln and thought of the Mary MacLane
I knew a long time ago. I was introduced
to her under the most blighting clrcum
etances of prejudice. Before I knew her
at all I had repeated, as one with au
thority, Tvbat I had heard "from others
who claimed to be contemptuously fa
miliar. I had Just passed' the hour, witti'
her, hailed .her -with' a jibe and rudely
gone my way. v
Then, I hardly" can tell how, I Tvas
caught by a phrase. I held off stllL I
was not to be cajoled by high-sounding
" -words. I had judged, and my judgment
coincided with that of others. But the
phrase stuck vigorously in my mind. I
discovered It to be a flne playground for
fancy; I reveled In its possibilities and
rejoiced in Its neat perfection. Then,
very shamefacedly, I sought the acquaint
ance, 'in due form, of Mary MacLane.
Yet my conscience pricks me. I never
owned a copy of that first book. I found
The Story of Mary MacLane" in the
hands of a friend. Impudently demanded
It, took it, and kept it unconscionably. I
dipped into it charily at the first, tast
ing its quality modestly. I have recol
lections' of reading It in street-cars, of
snatching a paragraph In utter disregard
of the elevator boy's cry of "Floor?"
of making out the words under the dim
light of a restaurant lamp, and the
"litany" I read deliciously huddled up on
a temporarily available "prop" behind
the scenes on which players In motley
attlr6 were portraying some now forgot
ten eomedv.
Thus my intimacy with Mary MacLano
grew, as I am so glad it ma, wiuiout
the confining restrictions of ordinary
and commonplace etiquette. I did not talk
feebly with her in a vulgar drawing
room nor exchange trito courtesies from
a rocking-chair. I boldly Invoked her
whenevera new and unseconded whim en
tered my head, and she responded to my
mood or abolished my dream with frank
ness and complete lack of formality. In
the end I returned the book, not, I must
confess, on my own initiative, for I would
iiave still kept it within range or my nana.
I have never opened its pages since.
"When I could no longer read without
preliminary efforts I would not read at
all. Mary MacLane was not a carpet
friend, a chatterer of airy nothings, and
I could not bear the thought of paying
hard and disillusioning coin to speak
with one with whom I had fallen into
such pleasant familiarity.
Notwithstanding this separation of
many months. I boast to myself that I
have not lost touch with the entrancing
Mary that is, I did so plume myself till
this new book fell into my hands. Then,
as I have said, the past seemed broken
with. The seasons that I so fondly
thought were leaving us both unchanged
3iad, after all, followed the habit of
seasons and we were both older and quite
possibly grown apart, to meet hereafter
only in unendurable remembrance of what
bad once been. There had been times
-when, in excess of confidence in our com-
anunlon. I had thought of the first harsh
things. I had said about her, much.
suppose, as a slave thinks of even the
-ungodly deeds, of his free past; But this
pale glory faded. Perhaps Mary Mac
Lane was spoiled, and my sweet subjec
tion become a durance too vile to allow
of Jest.
J looked finally at tho title, "My Friend
Annabel Lee." Hum-m-m. Had Mary
sot to reading Poe till her views were
distorted in sympathy with that un
-happy genius? The title page could not
cay. I turned farther. I observed with
dismay that the dedication was. to a cer
tain unknown Lucy1 Gray of Chicago. I
dlsllko Chicago intensely. I Imagined that
Xucy Gray lived on Halstead street, or,
worse yet, Monroe. I abhored Lucy.
And one pale lavender flower of Amar
anth." That, I grudgingly conceded, is
snore like the Mary I knew a year ago;
1 have not the faintest notion of what
amaranth is. So I looked it up in the
dictionary. Dr. "Webster states ponder
ously that it is a flower supposed never
ito fade,' and exactly adds that It is
'poetic" The Doctor never knew Mary
.ftlacLano or he would have spared him
self that last gaucherle.
Tho table of contents next attracted
tne. Prom it I discovered nothing, of the
personality of Annabel Lee. But I no
ticed a deal about her, and references to
Minnie Maddern Flske and the Butte
High School. Should I chose a chapter
and nibble delicately? Should I feint
land finesse with a page or so? I pon
dered this some time, and at .last de
cided that I would strike boldly in at
tho beginning of the volume and never
. draw uncritical breath till the end. It Is
high season, I admonished myself, that
,you drop your dilatory ways and softness,
for Mary MacLane. She's only a book,
after all, and you must treat her as you
do others. Tou never criticised the first
book at all, and consequently you know
nothing whatever about it. Be sensible
for once and forget your foible for the
nonexistent woman.
So I started in courageously, cut no
page till I got to it and emerged at the
end of the last chapter, where Mary says
farewell to Annabel Lee in gentle Italics.
For three days I tried to imagine the old,
strong, passionate Mary back, but she
was gone. The fourth day, in despair, I
picked up the book again, and Annabel
Lee was exceedingly moody and Incom
prehensible, and Mary as imperious as
of old, and now I freely state that Anna
bel Lee, of whom I was so jealous, does
not come between us at all
Mary has grown older, to be sure. A
year ago I think she had not quite out
grown a toothbrush with a ribbon around
It. She was so likely to say things that
Bounded so innocent as to startle, so deep
as to amaze and so wicked as to intoxi
cate. She doesn't say them any more
exactly. Somebody has said these same
things to Mary MacLane, and she has
determined that they do not sound nice.
I look in vain tor anything so frankly
descriptive as her picture of the dress
maker. Mary's skirts are below her
shoetopa.
But I am still loyal. If a slight shade
of bashful wisdom has veiled our speech
in decent garb for the street, the brave,
impulsive, pugnacious heart is there just
the same. Because Mary does not say
damn with her old vehemence, I detect
no weakening in her emotions; if she
speaks of her stomach less, she is as de
voured as ever to good cheer; if her
natrea or xormai snam Is not so loud
voiced, her neater adjectives are nono
tho leBs efficient. Mary Is not so naughty,
but she cannot quite forget that she was
once.
I think I take more pleasure out of her
story or. mo in tne Butte High School
than in any other- part- of Annabel Lee.
Emancipated Eva and Muddled Maud are
of tho charmed circle. Even tho fair-
Annabel with her silence and' her medi
tative position on a snelf does not quite
touch me as does Emancipated Eva. And
the way that Mary tells of their histories
is of the best,
One thing I rejoice at in the girl in
Butte. She has a flne, easy command of
English. She knows what she wants to
say, and if you don't understand it's not
Mary's fault. Her speech Is quite on a
levei wun tne giri as x Know her. I
nave a picture in my mind that I refer
to as to a masterpiece too valuable to be
lightly shown to common saze. Shft'i
dully beautiful, piquant through the force
or wnat you expect, charming because
sne is alive and bewitching at those
periods when she resumes the tongue of
childhood. She does not whisper, but
-speaks out stralghtly, and when she has
jsaldy.omethlng.that makes you Jlft your.
eyebrows, she holds her heart up for you
to see that all she has said Is true, and
I, for my part, look, and worship Mary
MacLane because she has treated mo so
squarely. But I like the old Mary best,
for I knew her so frankly well. The new
Mary is sadder, and 'as I grow older sad
ness seems to me the greatest ana most
nitlful thine in all the world. Maybe
Marj MacLane meant to signify It when

CHILD LABOR IX THE SOUTH,
"The "WIdoir,ii" Intereutinj? Observa-
. lions on Her Travels.
Tho TVidow" In the South, by Teresa Dean,
Smart Set Publishing Company.- New York.
Theoretically it is wrong, practically
the children are being taKen care or
kindly." That is Mrs. Dean's summing
up of the child labor discussion, and from
her observations it. is a very fair nutshell
presentation of the case. It often seems
difficult, almost Impossible to bring prac
tice Into accord with theory, but' sooner or
later it must be done, or their divergence
will result in disaster. The children em
ployed in the cotton mills, says Mrs.
Dean, are pale. They breathe air that la
laden with dust and heavy with the smell
of the fish oil used on the machinery. It
Is not a pleasant prospect, that of a race
growing up in such conditions. One mill
owner told (Mrs. Dean that children are
less liable to consumption than are adults,
which would seem to Indicate that the
seeds of the disease ore planted In the
young and ripen in the older. Another
peculiar feature of the situation is that
tho whites, constantly employed In the
mills, are falling behind the negroes In
education, surely an alarming state of af
fairs. Mrs. Dean, who Is the well-known
"widow" of Town Topics, visited the"
South expressly to study the race ques
tlon. She has much to say that will en
able Northern readers to understand and
approve the attitude of Southerners.
The book contains some incidental and
lively descriptions of social life In the
South, particularly in Charleston, the
home of the St. " Cecilia. Dancing Club,
which was founded in 1761, and has not
changed since.
A Real Bohemia.
The Millionaire's Son, by Anna Robeson
Brown. Dana, Estes & Co., Boston.
"The Millionaire's Son" is not the son
of his father. He rejects the millions of
his Inheritance to follow an Ideal, and In
the end he marries a girl of the same
mind, and, as the book end- begins bis
career as editor of a monthly review.
In the book we have a great variety of
ingredients blended into a palatable dish.
There are the1 millionaire, who is of the
immemorial type, striving, unscrupulous.
desirous of social advancement; the mil
llonalre's father, who is of Emerson's
time and Emerson's nature; and the mil
llonalre's son, who Is an attractive
young man. Then there Is. the artistic
girl whom the son marries. Mixed with
all these are college presidents, young
people of light purses and of light hearts,
rich girls of no hearts at all, whimsical
Bohemians and the book depicts a real
Bohemia; none of your artificial, delib
erately fabricated affairs, but a jolly and
desirable abode.
The son is discontented with shares and
stocks. Ho gains admittance to the Bo
hemia through accidentally poking . one
of its citizens with a careless umbrfill.o.
and 'the lnfluenco of the beautiful and
good queen makes him break with the
stocks and shares for the sake of an
ideal. He competes for a rich scholar
ship offered by an anonymbus benefactor.
wins it. finds his father Is the donor, gives
up finally his inheritance, and marries his
dulclnea.
"Tho Millionaire's Son" is a frood story.
It Is free from tho falso atmosphere that
so often makes books of its 'kind unpleas
ant. The characters are well drawn, espe
cially that of the -millionaire, who Is. In
deed, a more interesting person than his
son.
A Poet's NoveL
Tho 6ilver Poppy, by Arthur Stringer.
Appleton & Co., Now York.
No very pleasant memory is left in tho
reader's mind by the "Stiver Poppy," nor
is tne story one of particular Interest,
even although It is told with all the skill
and power of embellishment that Mr.
Stringer possesses.
A novel called the "Silver Poppy," writ
ten cy Cordelia vaughan, has made
great success, and the young and beau
tlrul author has come to New York. Here
she meets John Hartley, a young English
man, who has written some promising
poetry. The second story by Miss Vaughan
is shown .Hartley In manuscript, and he
finds it very inferior. Finally he rewrites
the story, and Miss "Vaughan has It pub
ashed under her own name. Meanwhile
she and Hartley have become, in a fash
ion, lovers. The girl's first book Ib dis
covered to have been written by another.
and this, with the dishonesty shown In
the second Instance, repulses Hartley. He
.goes back to England, and Cordelia
vaughan is left sobbing as the book
closes.
There is a brightness in tho manner of
the story's telling, although nono of the
straining after epigram that Is noticeable
in the quotations from imaginary books
at the head of each chapter. Many of
these smack of the table. For instance,
"A husband's jealousies, my dear, are tho
mushrooms on the beefsteak of matrl
inony." And "It Is the undercurrent of
motive that is the test of the moral pie.
And another: "We prefer our pessimists
yountr and tender, like asnarairus
"The Silver Poppy" is not unlike what
we imagine Cordelia Vaughan's "Unwls
virgins" to. have done.
Journalism Wlthont nOCoIletre.
Practical' Journalism, by Edwin X.. Shuman.
D. Appleton &' Co., New York,
"There.are few things concerning which
the general public is more curious, and
about which it knows less, than the in
side of a metropolitan newspaper office.
savs Mr. Shuman In his preface to "Prac
tlcal Journalism." "This curiosity Is at
least as healthy and legitimate as that re
gardlng the North Pole, yet there hav
been many more Polar expeditions than
books about the inner workings of th&
modern newspaper. As one-half of nil
intelligent young men and women In the
United States are said to pass through
a period when they imagine they would
like to wield the pen. It ought to be an
act of humanity to place in their hands
a book that will tell just how tho work
of the best and largest dally papers
done."
The act of humanity" is very well
done, and "Practical Journalism" will tell
the thousand-and-one aspirants to editor
ial chairs exactly how to get there, and
what dragons they will have to pass' on
the xoad. As Mr. Shuman .rose, from
printer's devil to managing editor, holding
practically every intermediate position at
one time or another, he knows his sub
ject. Furthermore, he does not give
mlsleadlngly roseate view of newspaper
"Jobs."
Love' Rocky Rond.
Tho Middle Course, by Mrs. Poultney Blge
low. Smart Set Publishing Company. New
York. " i
The Middlel Course is another story of
rove s rocky road to happiness. The hero
fine has a husband who alternately bullies
and neglects her, and, worst of all, is so
stingy that the housekeeping bills pro
voke a monthly row. He Is such a brute
that he even criticises the salad In public,
The hero Is a very fascinating painter,
and one day, as ho and the heroine are
kissing an eternal good-bye, who should
appear on the scene but the stingy hus
band! Naturally tho husband becomes-j-ery.
angry, and he hastens oft to Dakota,
lately described by an English Judge as
"wild" and "half-settled." Here he pro
cures one of the divorces that have made
Dakota famous. Yet love has not come to
the flowery paths of peace. The hero Is In
love, he thinks, with someone he knew 15
years before. Fortunately he meets her
dressed in the fashion of the day-after-
tomorrow, for which she did not mean
to Day until the day after that" and
ho is disillusioned. He seeks out the hero
ine, finds her half dead of fever and a
broken heart, and all Is happy.
Tho Middle Course Is not a very deep
analysis of character, or anything of that
kind, but It Is Interesting, and the stylo
is occasionally brilliant. Some of the in
cidental characters are sketched In a sen
tence, as, for Instance, the man and his
wife who are "like the little couple that
tell the weather never seen together."
"Mad Anthony."
Anthony "vVayne. by John It. Spears. D.
Appleton & Co., New York..
The story of "Mad Anthony" Is one of
the Appleton series of "historic lives,"
and it Is told plainly and without verbal
frills by Mr. Spears. The career of An
thony Wayne Is inspiring to all Ameri
cans. He it was who taught the world
that American troops could fight any sol
diers, and beat them. He first sent up the
flag in the great region between the Ohio,
tho Great Lakes and the Mississippi. He
was, perhaps, the greatest drillmaster
the American Army has had, and he was
on.o of those who taught the lesson that
preparation for war was the best aid to
victory.
Wayne was a "handsome, manly fig
ure." His care In dress earned .him tho
nickname of "Dandy" he was a man of
many nicknames, for the Indians called
him tho "Tornado" on account of his
furious charge, and the "Black Snake"
by reason of his unrelenting search for
enemies in the woods.
Mad Anthony endured privations in all
parts of the country; he fought many
battles. The taking of Stony Point alone
would make his name famous and he
never complalne. He was a patriot, and
a fighting patriot.
LITERARY NOTES.
The Navy League Journal for Septem
ber is rich In Illustrations rertalnlnjt to
the Navy, and the entire number is of
special interest to every officer of the
Navy and to every citizen of the United
States.
A French litterateur, in translating
sentence In one of Sir Walter Scott's nov
els, made an amusing blunder. Meeting a
statement In the text that some of the
characters who figure In the tale had a
"Welsh rabbit" for supper, says the Read
er, the translator, not aware that the term
was applied to toasted cheese, rendered
the phrase as "un lapln du pays de
Galles" "a rabbit of Wales." Not content
with this, he Inserted a footnote Informing
the reader that the rabbits of Wales were
of such superior flavor that thev were In
great demand in Scotland, the scene of the
story, and that, consequently, they were
forwarded to that country In considerable
numbers. No authority was given for the
assertion, andit is rather evident that the
idea of the writer must have been evolved
from his inner consciousness.
An interesting brochure on "The Dooncs
of Exmoor" has just been published in
England, which has for Its object a con
sideration of the evidence for the stories
in "Lorna Doone." The author concludes
that the Doone tradition Is of greater
antiquity than has been generally sup
posed, even by Mr. Blackmore, dnd dates
it as far back as the incursions of the
Danes during the reign of Alfred the
Great. He also corroborates the state
ment that Mr. Blackmore got his clew for
the weaving of his great romance from
a story entitled "The Doones of Exmoor,"
published at one time In that old-established
family magazine, the Leisure Hour.
The unfailing delight which thl3 wonder
ful story yields to readers, new and old,
year after year, is attested by the fact
that tho Harpers report It as In con
stant demand. Especially Is this true of
their illustrated edition, the best one
volumo illustrated edition on the market.

Philadelphia North American.
BEAUMONT, Tex. On Sunday morning
July 26, the only train running on the
Gulf & Interstate Railroad pulled. Into the
passenger station at Beaumont just 1040
days late. Starting, from Galveston on
the morning of September 8, 1900, ib had
been stalled half way between the? two
cities since: that date. Special festivities
marked the arrival of the belated No. 1.
Of the passengers, who started with the
train many met their death. The others
walked and rode In wagons, leaving the
engine more than 2 years behind. In the
wind, rain and weather the train had
stood where it was stalled so long ago
only to be finally rescued and brought
to cover as a. relic of other days.. The
same locomotive that started so long ago
pulled, .the. ama weathereaien, and, di-
